We ride to the danger we ride to the death what do we remember ? What will we escape ? One for when we fail one for disgrace what do we drink up ? What should we face ? Everything in me sweeps like a cold rain everything on me is melted down face to the reaper face to the field could we save a flower ? Could we keep dancing ? One for when we fall one for disgrace who put that spell on ? Who could we embrace ? Everything in me sweeps like a cold rain everything on me is melted down We ride to the danger we ride to the death what do we remember ? What will we escape ?

What have you found ? Grey stone under your teeth A part of the moon Wich weights a thousands misses You are a dream You are a dream What have you found ? Ashes on your feet Dust on your skin Stuck to your sweat What have you been ? You are a looser you are a freak Smashing your face On everydays leaded-glass window Maybe you don't lie But why are you speaking so low ? why are you speaking so low ? why are you speaking so low ? What have you found ? Grey stone under your teeth A part of the moon Wich weights a thousands misses What have you found ? Ashes on your feet Dust on your skin Stuck to your sweat What have you been ?

Do you feel Like a thrill On our parchemin-like skins ? Do you feel Like a soft snow On our wasted black field ? Here they are Here they are coming I put it in a cell I put it in a barrow I put it in my gun I press my finger on the trigger Do you feel all these pills Like they're sticking in our throat ? Could we please have a drink To drown our own sorrows ? Here they are Here they are coming I put it in a cell I put it in a barrow I put it in my gun I press my finger on the trigger

Black is the light I know I'm right Sun in our eyes Is lightening the skies I tell you we won't die I tell it to my bride Our love is stronger than All that we have to fight Every color and every spark Glittering in the deepest dark Every color and every spark Glittering in the deepest dark The day your lips took me I surely knew I would never come back The day you came so close And found some refuge In my wounded arms Please don't even cry even if love Seems so Black Black is the light and Nothing could tear us apart Every color and every spark Glittering in the deepest dark Every color and every spark Glittering in the deepest dark Our love is bright and Black is the light I tell you we won't die Black is the light I know I'm right Black is the light Black is the light Black is the light

Children of hell Cellophane flowers You were burning my hands When I was waiting for you under the sun Dolls of porcelain Pale faced clown Plasticine lovers When I was waiting for you under the moon When I was waiting for you waiting for you We smile We are dead When our love kisses some other men (bis) Sisters of pain Buto's dancers Dissolving my brain When I was waiting for you in the rain Sons of desire Forsaken fire Sand flowers in my hand When I was waiting for you under my grave Uggly ducky Swan on the beach Crashed plane Voiceless speach White nigger Black circumstancies When I was waiting for you under the sun When I was waiting for you, waiting for you We smile We are dead When our love kisses some other men (bis) When I was waiting for you under the sun

I started to feel my face going down I really appreciate your being 'round Cause a fall is a fall And it's a lonesome trial Trial Trial I started to feel my body flying on with a kind of unknown lightness cause a fall is a fall nd it's an awsome Trial Trial Trial Let me in it's raining outside and a dirty wind is blowing my mind Let me in it's raining outside and a dirty wind is blowing my mind Sweet Lord I'm coming again To beg you to extract Heroin from my veins Sweet Lord won't you hear my request ? I promise you this time I'll try to do my best Let me in it's raining outside and a dirty wind is blowing my mind cause a fall is a fall nd it's an awsome Trial Trial Trial Let me in it's raining outside and a dirty wind is blowing my mind

Dancin' Oh my sweet desire I surely know now that i will die Oh my lullaby i'll sing you anywhere i'll lay Lame Duck on a frozen lake Since you spit your cold on my diamond bay Turning my wailin' into dancin' Into dancin' Oh my pale mirror I use to skate upon your floor Oh my sweepin' feet drownin' strange faces upon the deep Lame Duck on a frozen lake Since you spit your cold on my diamond bay Turning my wailin' into dancin' Into dancin'

you might have kiss the sun but now that the light is gone you don't feel much better you don't feel much better now that you are really really down now that you crashed the earth and swallow blood and sand and swallow blood and sand you would better catch the sun in the eyes of your lover you would better catch the sun in the eyes of your lover you might have kiss the sun now that the night has come you just feel a little colder you just feel a little colder for a while you though you could get the fire to make your eyes dryer but tears are flowing out from your head but tears are flowing out from your head you would better catch the sun in the eyes of your lover you would better catch the sun in the eyes of your lover
